What a pity Africa dose not produce what it consume and consume what it does not produce, Africa will not benefit from people whom it educate at an immense expense too. I am sure the writer would have made a very good professor at the university in Ethiopia or a minster vice minister a diplomat which is filled with either incompetent people or foreigners. However he is a refuge and we all know what a refugee is especially in one of these places like Uganda, Sudan or else where in Africa and the Arab world. Being a refugee is like being born again, you have to establish yourself you may have to learn another language, you may have to take a new way of life you may need to adjust to cultural, religious or any other shock you may be exposed to. What is the solution to all these, you might ask, well first thing first we all need to be selfless and try to make it easier to some one that may come behind us by standing our ground and fight for what is right. We should stop fleeing any time we feel that we are being wronged. We should find a way to tell our dictators that they are just one of us and need to work for us, not expect us to work for them. We should tell them that there are people who are as good as they are, if not better, to take of business and after a certain period of time they should hang their shingles and allow another fresh set of eyes to look through the vernaculars. And if they think otherwise they are the once that need to pack and go like Mobutu se sesko, Ideamin, and Mengistu not us. I think this thing that they call refugee should be looked at seriously, the so called industrialized countries are getting a free ride by allowing the most educated cream of the crop of the developing countries to fill their labor shortage. Last but least I wish the writer and all my compatriots who languish in a foreign country to be in their country and work towards the prosperity of their mother Land.
